Thanks for creating this list Bob. I like how you broke it down for each school as to whether need is a factor, work is required, etc.

All of these colleges stats as to acceptance rates and requirements are on their web sites and all the “regular” college sites as well.

Berea, for example, won’t accept students whose families make more than around $60K, depending on family size and other factors. They also favor kids from Appalachia. However, kids from anywhere in the US and even some international students CAN get in but it’s an Ivy-like acceptance rate. Room and board are paid for with work-study (which all students do) and/or any federal/state loans or grants a student is eligible for. At that family income level, obviously most of their students do qualify for need-based aid.
